Four Southern Nash High school socccer players were injured Wednesday afternoon when the car they were riding left the highway and traveled several hundred feet until it clipped the corner of a mobile home and came to rest unside down.
The four players were returning to school to join their teammates as they were preparing to leave to go to a soccer game in Roanoke Rapids. According to a news report last night on WRAL-TV the highway patrol estimated the speed of the car at close to eighty miles per hour. The speed limit in that section of Nash County is fifty five.
Luckily the four players do not have life threatening injuries but they do have broken bones. The players were indentified as Jose Salazar,Daniel Arroyo,Leonicio Guerro Jr and Jesus Rody.
Even more amazing that no one in the mobile home was injured nor anyone else as the car traveled through several yards.
The soccer game with Roanoke Rapids was postponed.
Just about every school at some point in time has a tradegy strike them. My senoir year just six days before my graduation from high school four boys were killed, two of them in my senior class.
Yesterday's soccer game for Rocky Mount with Rose was not played.
Tonight JV football host Northern Durham at 7.00pm at the stadium. I will not be on PA tonight as the Tar River Children Chorus has a meeting about their 2009/2010 season. The Concert Chorus will be preforming on stage at Disney World Memorial Day weekend next year and tonight starts the first group effort to find funding for their trip.
If in the future you hear of a concert in the area that The Tar River Children's Chorus is performing I would urge you to attend. These young people are talented and are lead by the most Christian person I know in Patsy Gilliland.
They practice every Thursday night during the school year and do several Christmas concerts as well as end of the year. The new year begins tonight.
